the second obama wins, reed sends out a note to colleagues, gee, why don't we work together? there is an easy test. mitch mcconnell can sit down with reed and in 10 minutes reach an agreement how the senate will work in a bipartisan way or figure out it is all baloney and he will remain a bitter partisan. reed has to be a part of this deal also. and i look forward to that. i mean i do think the problem we face, the problems are so large, that is irresponsible for the two governing parties to just start out by saying let's have four years of gridlock. they should at least try to find, is there a common ground, which is compatible with the values of both republicans and democrats, and that at least moves the ball forward 50%, even if neither side gets 100% of what they want. >> let's talk about books now. you guys both have books out. i love your book, ms. gingrich, i read it earlier, cover to cover, i have little kids. talk about why you wanted to reach out for the history of america, and specifically the colonies. i have a 2-year-old and 6-year- old. it is perfect for them. >

president obama will not be taking questions. we hope that that will happen next week but in the meantime i think the white house started to notice that the republican house speaker john boehner had come out to speak about the fiscal cliff on wednesday. he's going to speak about it again today and the white house realized that the president needed to come out and stake his territory, lay the ground work for these negotiations as well. so what he's going to argue today we expect is that the american people voted on tuesday night not just for him but for the things that he has been fighting for such as allowing household income over $250,000 a year to revert to those higher clinton era tax rates. he said this is an easy and reasonable way to reduce the deficits. republicans completely disagree and speaker bone engineer said again yesterday this would hurt job creators. we got some very interesting news yesterday from the nonpartisan congressional budget office the number crunches up on capitol hill. they said allowing the bush tax
